KH throttle body, bypass valve hose?

Hello,

I was just thinking about KH throttle bodies.  The KH intake manifold
and automatic throttle body are desirable when converting an MC motor
to EFI, due to the increased room to fit the fuel rail.

I know that the KH throttle body is round, as opposed to the "Q" shaped
MC throttle body opening.  The MC michelin man hose is "Q" shaped to
fit it.

I also know that there is an intake hose, I think for the ur-S4, that has a
built in port for a bypass valve.  On that intake hose, the throttle body
opening shape is round.

Will the ur-S4 intake hose fit on a KH throttle body?  If they are both
round, are they also the same diameter?

If so, this would be a good setup for putting in a bypass valve, and
allows the use of a premade Samco-type silicone hose.  Apparently
there isn't a Samco hose for the "Q" shaped MC throttle body, much
less one with that shape an also a port for a bypass valve.

Anyone know if this will work?

Thanks,

Ken
